Anificas Beauty (M)
On a hat-trick after bouncing back to form with a pair of wins over the extended 1m at Beverley in recent weeks. Much respected in her current mood.

Hostelry (M)
[P]
Five wins in a very productive 2025 but has yet to hit the same heights this season, including 2½ lengths fifth of 8 to Anificas Beauty at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) 13 days ago.

Nakatomi (G)

Far Ahead (G)
FAV
Catterick maiden winner last spring. Tumbled in the weights and more positive signs when runner-up at Beverley (8.5f, good to firm) and Hamilton (9f, good) on his last 2 outings. Considered.

Shark Two One (G)

Back to form when third of 13 in 7f Leicester classified race 3 weeks ago and nicely handicapped if able to build on that.

Elettaria (M)
[P]
Dual winner of 7f classified events at Newcastle in 2025. Hasn't threatened to add to her tally this year but latest keeping-on third over 7.5f at Beverley was more encouraging.

Alice's Influence (F)
Took another step forward to share the spoils in an 8-runner Wetherby handicap in April. Placed on next 2 outings and perhaps unsuited by soft ground when a remote fourth at Ffos Las 12 days ago.
